now i'm picturing like rubber socks? never heard of waterproof socks before


just get some bad rear end leather boots, anything made of leather is waterproof with the right treatments. wax & grease

Not super familiar with this brand, but lots of high end leather boots like this can easily be rebuilt after a few years by a cobbler. Soles are super easy to replace and even new leather panels can be cut and installed. They take a little bit of maintenance but boots like this can literally last you a lifetime in a Theseus' boot sort of way.
